Very nice hotel, centered in the heart of Oslo, close to all the big tourist spots. In checking was fast and efficient , the young lady at the desk was very polite and helpful. The room was large and clean with all the amenities expected. The bathroom was light and bright and clean. Wi-Fi in the room was very good. Breakfast was excellent with a large assortment of both hot and cold dishes . Definitely recommend. Parking facilities are found in the basement of the hotel, my only gripe being that is quite expensive as it is a private firm who owns it.

The staff were very helpful, most especially Joanah from the front office team (apologies if I spelled her name incorrectly). The facilities, however, such as the sauna, shower & locker areas, pool and the gym, could use some updating and renovation. The hotel is also not very close to the city center, requiring about a 20 to 30 minute walk. Overall though, it was a good stay.

I had not just one of those travel days, but one of those travel weeks that people write stories about. Lots of fun, great professional opportunities, but zero sleep. I was exhausted and on the verge of tears running on fumes when I arrived at this hotel at 6am. The lobby was locked and I panicked for a moment before the lovely overnight staff (I didn't catch the woman's name but there was also a man there named Matthew!) ushered me in. I told them in a sleep deprived state what had happened and their friendly faces where exactly what I needed. They so generously let me check in super early and saved the absolute day. Thank you Matthew so much, that kindness will not soon be forgotten! The sauna and pool were beautiful, the views from the terrace at the top were gorgeous. Oslo is small and so the location was central and easy to walk anywhere. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and if you interact with the overnight staff you won't soon forget that level of care and hospitality. Thank you for everything!!

The room itself was very good, and the view was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was the complete opposite. The staff member who assisted us during check-in was extremely unwelcoming and provided very poor service. There was no warm greeting, no sense of hospitality, and very little effort to make us feel welcome or assist us properly. For a hotel of this standard, we expected a much better level of service, especially since check-in is the first impression guests receive. It’s disappointing because the room and the beautiful view had so much potential to make this a great stay, but the lack of hospitality upon arrival really affected our overall experience.

I stayed here for about a month and a half, overall I can only recommend this hotel if you are a short term tourist. Wifi is patchy at best even for checking your emails, the rooms are large but they are not cooled well. My first room flooded because of a faulty air conditioning unit. Water pressure is rather low in the shower. Despite the large amount of space in the rooms there isn't really anywhere to put your clothes beyond a small wardrobe, not a problem if you're living out of your bags but if you're here for an extended stay I'd look for an airbnb or other type of location. Breakfast was generally good, but it does get crowded if you wait too long. The beds are very soft, so if you're used to a firm bed do beware. Front desk staff also has some minor attitude issues, expect to receive eye rolls by the junior staff. The more senior desk staff are much more courteous. Service around norway in general is rather lacking, so this does seem to be the norm.

I stayed here with my family for a long weekend in April. Our first impression was: wowww, what a stunning hotel! After the first morning we slept, we noticed that our room wasn't been cleaned by the housekeepers, neither in the afternoon. Immediately I asked to the first housekeeper I saw in the corridor and fortunately she accepted to clean our room. Services were really great, especially breakfast, swimmingpool, gym and sauna. Receptionists were so kind with us and helped us a lot of times but I'd prefer knowing of the closure of the restaurant for dinner, one of the reason we choose this structure, before arriving. We had many difficulties to find an open restaurant in the city after a certain hour but we ate in one of the closest. Apparently there was a staff strike during those days. Anyway thanks to let us enjoy this place and Oslo City in the best way.

The breakfast was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond with their presentation and quality of food and service. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms so quiet. Having sweets by reception and hot chocolate in the rooms for my children was a plus. We were disappointed the summit bar wasn’t open on Sunday night as this was the last night of our stay and therefore we missed out seeing the view of Oslo.

A fantastic overall option for staying in Oslo, offering clean, comfortable accommodations and great amenities. Pros:|- Breakfast: Excellent and very comprehensive breakfast spread with plenty of great options.|- Rooms: Very spacious, clean, and well-maintained.|- Sofa Bed: Unusually comfortable, making it a great choice for families or extra guests.|- Pool: A really nice indoor swimming pool facility on-site. Cons:|- Parking: They offer on-site parking, but it is extremely expensive.|- Pool Temperature: While the pool area is beautiful, the water was quite cold. Practical Tips:|- Manage expectations on room types: We booked a room with a balcony hoping for scenic high-rise views over Oslo. However, these balcony rooms are located on the second floor, quite a walk from reception, and don't offer elevated city views.|- Location: It is not located directly in the city center, but it is just a short, quick walk away.
